I've been chartering with Captain Kevin and the folks at Reelin Sportfishing Charters for the past…read more4 years and every trip has been a blast. Last week a family member and I brought our kids (3 10-year olds and a 13 year old) on a 5 hour trip and we caught over 25 stripers (5 keepers, a lot over slot), our kids were completely exhausted by hour 4 and most had passed out in the cabin. The first mates we've had have always been fantastic, but on this trip Jessica was next-level. She was amazing with the kids, knew what she was doing and was unbelievably personable. From booking the the trip with Admiral Amy, to talking with Captain Kevin and working with the first mate, every part of interacting with Reelin Sportfishing Charters is a pleasure. There's a reason that I keep coming back. Keep in mind that this is fishing and some times the fish are finicky, but Kevin has always managed to put us on the fish! You can't go wrong with Reelin.

Wow! I can't say enough good things about Captain Kevin and Jessica!!! They really made this trip a…read moreonce in a lifetime experience for my Aunt and I. We were able to catch a bunch of fish thanks to their guidance, and got to take home a few beautiful fillets, which were prepared for us on the way back. Kevin is an exceptional captain and really does his best to make sure you are catching keepers! Jessica was an excellent instructor and helped us understand what we needed to do. I don't think I ever want to go deep sea fishing without them!!! Jessica and captain Kevin, thank you SO much for making this experience unforgettable. I will always recommend your company!!!

We recently attended a wedding at the Westerly Yacht Club and we both agreed that it was a very…read morenice venue. While it's no Watch Hill dockyard, the Westerly Yacht Club holds it's own as one of the premier boating and sailing locations in the area. The marina is extremely clean and very well organized and the building's interior reflects just the same. While there are of course some ongoing issues with membership and other issues not needed to be addressed here, on its face, the Westerly Yacht Club is a beautiful part of the town.

My fiancé and I purchased this charter for my brothers 13th birthday. The views of the bay were…read moreabsolutely breath taking. The captain was kind enough to give us some history of the structures around the area. The charter had a bathroom which was a huge plus! The boat was roomy and comfortable even with four people on the boat. I personally took advantage of the seating in the back. We brought our own drinks and food. I definitely recommend bringing your own cooler for personal snacks and drinks. We did the six hour charter and I don't think I've ever caught that many fish in my life. Due to the storm that happened prior to our charter, we mainly focused on Tautog and Black Sea Bass. The captain found a beautiful spot for us to anchor down and set up all of our poles for us. The captain also got the baits prepared for us and had them ready when we needed more bait. My brother and fiancé caught a handful of slot sized Tautog and Black Sea Bass. The captain was kind enough to show us how to filet them when we got back to the dock. Overall, I highly recommend the Pamela May. The captain was great company and we will definitely be booking future charters with him.

We fished two full days and to say the fishing was good would be an understatement. We had two completely different days weather wise. Thursday was cloudy and cool and Friday was clear and warm. Thursday was better from a numbers standpoint, We caught about 15 striper with 8-10 of those being 30 lbs plus - big fish was 42 lbs. We also caught 10 -12 nice blue fish. Friday was the tougher of the two days because of the sun and number of boats in the area but we still had six nice striper and another 10-12 really nice blue fish. Our five biggest striper weighed 179 pounds (31-34-34-38 and another 42 pounder)! The "dink" was still a 10 pounder. On Friday we were within a hundred yards of several boats and they got to watch us catch fish while we watched them catch notta! I can honestly say that when we had baits in the water Jay had us on fish. There were many times when Justin couldn't get the second line out before there was a fish on the first line and we doubled up several times each day. About the boat - it is very clean, plenty comfortable and ran like a top. You could relax inside out of the rain Thursday and it was nice to be able to get out of the sun on Friday while going to and from the fishing grounds. Having a restroom on board during a 10 hour trip was a must. Jay really knows his stuff and Justin was by far the hardest working First Mate I have fished with. We are hooked (pun intended) and will definitely be back to fish with them next year. Book with confidence and opt for the 10 hour trip to give yourself as much time in the chair as possible!

Kali and her dad Mark were a dynamic duo and so hospitable. Not only was the weather absolutely perfect, I felt completely at peace out on the water. Kali and Mark were so accommodating by helping us take pictures, passing snacks and drinks, and teaching us about the sailing and seas, all while making sure we were having a good time. Learning they had over 70 years experience between the both made me feel completely safe and comfortable throughout the whole experience. They even had a speaker for us to play music, so we danced, sang and we enjoyed every second of our time. The tour lasted an hour and a half and I didn't want to get off the boat!!! They truly did an amazing job sailing us around the sound, and I can't wait for another adventure! Luckily Abbotts was right next door from the port so we continued the day there after our tour. I highly recommend this experience and don't forget to wear your sunscreen!! lol
